TW Warhammer 3: SCM Legendary Characters

TW Warhammer 3: SCM Legendary Characters

Project Overview

Greetings!

We at the skeleton crew modding discord would like to invite you all to try out for some of our projects going on over at the total war warhammer modding community.

Introduction

Recently, the skilled minds from our community have figured out how to incorporate new sound files into the game we make mods for, including the exciting prospect of voicework! As such, we would like to invite as many people as we can to work with us on jumping into these uncharted waters. Currently, this casting call covers the 'Legendary Characters' mod for Total War Warhammer 3 (sitting currently at just under 133.000 unique subscribers), though there are many more projects in the works.

The Project

Total War Warhammer 3 is a turn-based strategy game with rts-style battles in between. The characters and units in the game are used in large armies to fight battles on a cinematic scale, with each unit having a host of interesting lines to listen to while handing out orders. With every mod we make, this list of characters grows and so does the need for voices.

As said before, we are currently in great need of a great number of actors to fill the staggering amount of characters we have completed over the past year and a half. Unfortunately, it is unfeasible to make a casting call with over a hundred unique roles to voice. And thus we have drawn a diverse selection of characters for actors to try out for.

What this essentially means is that, even if there are only fourteen roles listed here, we have many more open roles in practice. As such, we are especially looking for general performances, rather than anything specific to the characters listed. Perhaps you are feeling that none of the listed characters match your interest. Please do try out anyway and we may have something you like waiting in store!

Payment

Unfortunately, as modding is a passion project and strictly non-profit, we cannot guarantee to always have payment for the work you deliver for us. As such we have opted to list this casting call as 'unpaid' to outright shut down any expectations of financial compensation.

Requirements

With the above stated, we naturally realize that we cannot be too picky, as we are asking you to give up your time and talent without comp. Still, we must ask that any and all applicants do possess a microphone of decent quality (XLR preferred) or the know-how to make their recordings seem as such. Most of us are not audio engineers and we will not always be able to edit everything down to perfection. So we ask for your co-operation on this front.

Additionally, as we work exclusively on discord, a discord account is required for us to be able to invite you to the server and remain in contact.

When submitting an audition, please limit your submission to three takes (maximum, less is fine) per line and submit all lines as a single file in AAABBBCCC format per character. Specific recording settings are preferred as Stereo sound / 16-bit / 44100HZ / .wav format. These settings are required for the files to work in game, so no need to worry about them for the auditions.

Workload

While we do not work for profit, our team is constantly at work to churn out mods and new characters at breakneck speed and there will always be something that needs voicing. However, as the actors are helping us for free, we are giving you full autonomy to decide if you want to work on something or not. If you have the time to lend us your voice, awesome! If not, no worries, we understand life takes priority always.

Once invited, you will be welcomed to the server and free to discuss with the many modders in our community to see what is needed and what can be worked on at that moment.

Disclaimer concerning AI
For those with concerns regarding the use of AI voicing, art, text, etc. Please note the following:


  • No AI voice tools will be used in development of SCM-produced mods, and support will not be given to those attempting to do so. We will not use your voices to train any sort of AI program.


  • AI art and text generation have been used in the development of some SCM mods, including Legendary Characters, and will continue to be included for said projects. This includes cases such as skill icons, unit flavor text and editing still images of handmade in-game 3D models.


We thank you in advance for taking the time to audition and we hope you have a good time recording your submissions.

Latest Updates

  • Aaaaand cut!

    Wow. None of us expected a turnout of almost 700 auditions. We're overwhelmed by the amount of interest in the project.

    ...Unfortunately the deadline is upon us, and we are no longer accepting new submissions (auditions submitted after the deadline will be disregarded). We will be taking the following weeks to review everyone's work, and to decide on the castings.

    Please do note, that even if you do not receive a role, we may still add you to our shortlist and contact you personally for any interest in future roles that may come up (or just general participation as a voice actor on SCM projects).

    We graciously thank you for your time and effort, and we are looking forward to hearing all your great submissions! ^^

  • Disclaimer regarding AI usage.

    Hello everyone, thank you for your auditions so far, it's lovely to see so many talented applicants.

    We've added another piece to the description regarding our usage of AI tools throughout development. We understand this may conflict with what some of you think and find acceptable, and thus there are no hard feelings incase you wish to retract your submission.

    The disclaimer is as follows:

Amon'Chakai
open
Unpaid

Amon'Chakai is the oldest and wisest lord of change among the daemonic legions of Tzeentch. He has the knowledge over all of Fate and Destiny and is therefore elevated above mere mortals, almost alien in his motivations. He has a strong disdain for order and seeks to spread chaos through manipulation and deceit. We are open to interpretations, but preference goes out to a slow, calm, deliberate performance.

Reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpE36j1kce0 (Kairos fateweaver, another character that is similarly a lord of change)

NOTE: Amon'Chakai is a daemon and has a rather deep voice. This means there will be some editing done to account for possible sfx. As such please do not worry about the pitch of your voice, as that may be subject to change via post-processing.

Language:
  • english
Voice description:
  • creature
  • all english accents

  • "Destiny is revealed by the architect, only, to Amon'Chakai."

  • "You seek the wisdom of the eldest? But even understanding is subject to change."

  • "You stand before the impossible throne, not because merit. But because my designs have decreed it so."

Aurelion
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: Glyph

A young (by elven standards) arch mage from the high-elven island nation of Ulthuan, Aurelion is currently within the human nation of the empire to work against the forces of Chaos. She is haughty, confident, self-assured and rather disdainful of humans. However, she is also graceful, calm and shares the tendency for diplomatic decorum with her high-elf kin.

Language:
  • english
Voice description:
  • aristocratic british
  • female young adult

  • "I am Aurelion, arch-mage of the evercourt and master Qhaysh."

  • "Not Thorgar, not Lilaeth, not even the witch king himself shall keep me from protecting Ulthuan!"

  • "You humans are a tiresome lot. An existential threat festers in the north, yet you squabble between insignificant provinces."

Braugh Slavelord
open
Unpaid

Brash, boisterous, cruel and fattened up with greed and fat abound, the ogre slavelord is a loud brute with a veneer of mercantilism. He drags with him an entourage of both living and undead slaves that he sells off, leases out, or cooks up for the highest bidder. Ogres generally speak in a mixture of northern and cockney british and they are shouty, shameless and wholey unconcerned with anything that isn't the acquisition of more gold and flesh to gorge.

Gorbad Ironclaw
open
Unpaid

Destroyer of the moot, slayer of emperors and wiper of imperial provinces, Gorbad Ironclaw is a greenskin with his ego only matched by his myriad of achievements and hulking form. Like all orcs, Gorbad is intelectually lessened, but where he lacks in brain he makes up for in brawn and unending ferocity and warlust. As expected of warhammer orcs, Gorbad's performance is likened to that of a football hooligan, but one that leads the rioting crowd in the search for a good scrap.
Like ogres, greenskins generally speak with a brutish and almost comical version of the british cockney accent. (Though don't worry about *being* british, the accents are very much parody)

Reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TrQtMCwjjo

Note: Due to the nature of the voice, there will be some post-processing done for any and all orc characters, so don't worry too much about having a deep enough voice. Though the less editing needed the better.

Language:

Voice description:

  • "Ironclaw! Rock buildah! Mootstompah! Boss-killa! Rememba' the name Gorbad!"

  • "Oi don't give a squig's noggin' if yooz gobbo or if yooz the baddes blackie dere is! Join me boyz, and we'll 'ave the biggest waaagh dere ever woz!"

  • "WAAAAAAAAAAGH!" (*A battlecry, please go as all-out as you can for this one*)

Gotrut Spume
open
Unpaid

Gotrut is a disgusting visage of what the chaos gods' corruption can do to a man. His belly is fat and bloated, and his voice is heavy and hindered by lisps, facial rashes, mumps and all kinds of diseases and maladies that could stop one from speaking properly. As a devoted of nurgle, we hope to see a gleefull zeal with which the character spreads plague and disease among the 'lucky' victims of Gotrut's raids. Did we mention he's also a pirate?

Marrisith of Laurelorn
open
Unpaid

Deep in the forests of the empire lies the wood elven conclave of Laurelorn, with it's inhabitants the Eonir ever watchful of intruders. Marrisith leads these forest dwellers as a young queen. Despite her age, she is composed and graceful, but incredibly wary of strangers in her forest home (to the point of hostility). Beyond this, Marrisith is also heavily burdened by the knowledge of a prophecy that may spell the doom of her home in the coming decade. This causes her demeanor to be ever so grim when faced with impending doom.

Language:

Voice description:

  • "I am regent of the Eonir."

  • "You stand within Laurelorn, before the high council. Speak and then begone from our home."

  • "Great are my duties within the next ten years... and even greater my worries."

Nastasya Roskolnikov

Unpaid
Role assigned to: meowzi

Originally a kislevite orphan, Nastasya Roskolnikov has been corrupted by the constant dreams that haunt her nights. And before long she has found herself sworn into service as a champion of the chaos god of excess and desire: Slaanesh. With Nastasya we are looking for a mysterious performance. She is extremely evil, but also exudes a charismatic aura that can be described as bewitching and seductive. Being a kislevite (warhammer anachronistic slavism), we are hoping for a slavic type accent, but performance is, as always, key.

Language:
  • english
Voice description:

  • "Dreamer of the darkest desires."

  • "You seek the secrets of my silver visage? Come. Listen to my words and hear the truth."

  • "The dark prince calls to me even amidst the realms of sleep."

Natty Buboe
open
Unpaid

The ratmen in warhammer are quite unique, indeed, and we hope to see the rattiest and scurriest of performances in this audition slot. Natty Buboe is a legendary marksman of clan Mors and is said to be able to snipe the head off of someone's body from 7000 paces afar. Skaven are very twitchy in nature and have a tendency to follow up certain words in sentences with synonyms of that word. Please refer to the references provided for an accurate image as those can do the description much more justice than we can.
For Natty we envision a sly and insidious delivery, but being skaven we are eager to see any and all takes on the iconic skaven.

Ragush
open
Unpaid

Ragush is a lovely example of what happens when you cross a t-rex on steroids with a dairy cow. As one of the warhammer minotaurs, Ragush is the epitome of brutal rage and savage instinct. He cares only for destruction, blood and slaughter and is tossed into an incoherent rage at the very sight of any and all prey.

The voice for a minotaur should be extremely deep and we will further deepen it in post.

References:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qg8RkPBmHlg (General beastmen)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-d7XIn0adY (The only other talking minotaur in the game)

NOTE: As a beastman minotaur, Ragush speaks exclusively in the warhammer language of 'Dark Tongue'. This means that the lines are spoken in a mostly incoherent fantasy language. For your benefit, we have included a pronounciation guide and translation, but do not worry about getting it all correct. We don't expect experienced linguists for a made-up language.

Language:
  • Dark Tongue
Voice description:

  • "Ragush gorbul aaz!" ("Ragush mighty gorebull!") [Ra-goosh gore-bull aahs]

  • "Khaos! Khar! Akhash! Akh!" ("Choas! Rage! Slaughter! Blood!") [Chaos! Car! Ah-cash! Akh!]

  • "Aksho maab-hyshk!" ("Seek man-flesh!") [Akh-show mwahb hish!]

Rorek Granitehand
open
Unpaid

A dwarf through and through, king Rorek Granitehand finds himself in a peculiar position as the leader of Karak Ziflin. He is situated between the two human nations of the empire and bretonnia and is therefore expected to be diplomatic in the ways that mesh with humankind. Yet this must also be balanced with the expected dwarven grumbling and stubborn adherence to tradition and grudges. For a performance we envision the tried and true grumbling dwarf, but with a begrudgingly well-spoken cadence. 

Dwarves in warhammer tend to have northern english accents with deep gravely voices, but we are open to all interpretations.

Language:
  • english
  • Khazalid
Voice description:

  • "Aye, I'm the king here in Karak Ziflin, umgi. What'll it be then?" [Umgi = human]

  • "Khazukan! Khazukid! Ha!" [Common dwarven battlecry]

  • "Slay every urk! Settle every single grudge!" [Urk = orc/enemy]

Rykarth the Unbreakable
open
Unpaid

Where the dwarves of warhammer are grumbling but heroic and resolute, the blasted lands of the chaos dwarves produce nothing but cruelty, industry and a callous disregard for any and all life in the rise to power. Among these cruel daemon-dwarves, Rykarth the Unbreakable is the strongest warrior in Dawi-Zharr history. His discipline in battle is matched only by his cruel disdain for any foe weaker than him (which just so happens to be anyone unlucky enough to find themselves infront of him). As a chaos dwarf we are hoping for a performance much like a dwarf, but completely devoid of the lovable grumpiness. Instead having it be replaced by a cruel and evil tone that convinces the listener they are listening to a spiteful and ambitious conqueror.

References:

NOTE: Like with Ragush, Rykarth speaks in a warhammer language (known as 'Zharralid'). Worry not about the pronunciation but focus on performance.

Shadowblade
open
Unpaid

Master assassin, artist in death and devoted of the god of murder, Shadowblade is an killer of legendary accumen. So skilled is he that not even the mistress he is unflinchingly loyal to dare ask him to show his face for fear of reprisal. He is quiet, as is to be expected of an assassin, but also arrogant and cruel due to his nature of being a dark elf. Most dark elves speak with an RP english accent, but we are open to any takes on the character, as long as his venomous performance is delivered well.

Language:

  • "Assassin most supreme."

  • "I serve only the crone, the blade, and Khaela Mensha Khaine." [Kay-lah Men-sha Kayn]

Skarr Bloodwrath
open
Unpaid

Insane, murderous and consumed by nothing but pure anger and rage. The khorne champion Skarr bloodwrath cares naught for his past, and neither should you. Just know that you want to rip skulls from spines, shower in the entrails of your enemies, and make people explode in fountains of blood.

NOTE: This is a very intensive performance with lots of shouting and (preferably) frothing at the mouth. If you are not actively upsetting the neighbors, you're not spilling blood hard enough.

Language:

  • "Brothers in blood! The weak fo- WHY AM I PRATTLING WHEN THERE IS SLAUGHTER TO BE HAD!?"

Zlatgar
open
Unpaid

An ancient lizardman warrior, Zlatgar is known for his calm demeanor among the other saurus and his well developed tactical mind. We are looking for a low and deliberate performance that takes its time to say what needs to be said. Moreover, as a lizardman saurus, Zlatgar has a low animalistic growl to his voice, almost feral.

Reference:

NOTE:
As with Rykarth and Ragush, Zlatgar speaks the saurian fantasy language, arguably the hardest of them all as it is based on the ancient aztec language.
